 My name is Natalie. I'm an Environmental Science major and this is how I got set up with free remote access to all the ebooks and articles provided by UCLA Library using VPN on my MacBook Air laptop. First, let's talk about why we need to use VPN from off-campus. When you're off-campus, websites don't necessarily know that you're a Bruin. This means that if you go to a website and try to access an ebook or an article, you might not be able to get to the full text, you might get an error message, or the website may even ask you to pay a fee. Don't pay that fee. To see if you can get that book or article for free through the UCLA Library, you can set up your computer with VPN. This gives you a chance to type in your UCLA logon ID and show the Internet that you are a Bruin. Once you are set up, you'll have access to millions of resources licensed by UCLA Library. This includes ebooks, articles, videos, music, all sorts of resources. Here's how I did it. First, I went to the library website at library.ucla.edu. Then I clicked on connect from off-campus. From there, I chose VPN. Then I chose macOS. And after that, I followed these directions to get set up. Let's walk through it together. Visit library.ucla.edu and click on connect.
